Safety and dignity
Safeguarding
Better information and connection must never come at the expense of a child’s or family’s safety, privacy, or dignity.
Protecting Children and Families
Do not submit identifying or sensitive child or family information through this website.
Do not submit names, photographs, case histories, precise household locations, health information, legal information, placement or adoption details, or other information that could identify a child or family.
What This Website Is Not For
Telos does not present this website as child or family case intake, emergency response, child placement, automated matching, a referral service, or case management.
This website does not provide medical, legal, or other professional advice.
Urgent Situations
Telos is not an emergency, medical, law-enforcement, child-protection, or crisis-response organization.
If someone may be in immediate danger or needs urgent assistance, contact the appropriate emergency services, child-protection authority, medical provider, law-enforcement agency, or crisis service where they are.
Building Carefully
Telos is considering safeguarding and privacy as it develops public information and participation experiences. Additional information will be added here as practices are confirmed.
